Andrew Garfield's new historical drama revealed as Robin Hood origin film

Joe Weinmunson23

They spent over $100 million on a movie and deliberately conflated Wat Tyler with Robin Hood?! Never spending money on that nonsense

I cannot emphasize how disappointing this is. It was angling to be a common man drama. I hope it is verrrrry loosely based and not Garfield screaming about being Robinhood. The trailer would suggest it's a loose adaptation hopefully

Is it gonna be like at the end of The Dark Knight Rises where that lady calls Joseph Gordon Levitt "Robin" and he could have just been some other guy, he didn't need to be Robin

That makes NO sense whatsoever. It's *definitely* a Peasant's Revolt movie. Richard II is the monarch. Cosmo Jarvis is playing Wat Tyler. All of which is over 150 years AFTER the death of King John. I was looking forward to this movie, but this kind of bullshit makes me LESS likely to go.

YES! MORE ROBIN HOOD! CAN'T GET ENOUGH! THE STORY NEEDS TO BE RE-TOLD MORE THAN TWICE A YEAR!!! SAME WITH KING ARTHUR! CREATIVITY THRIVES!!! ... -_-

Robin of Sherwood with Michael Praed was peak. Was not the same when Jason Connery stepped in. Also agree with the other posts about the Clannad soundtrack.

At the moment I'd settle for simply having a Robin Hood with a Yorkshire accent 🤦‍♀️ (the main historical figure that he's based on is proper Yorkshire) These films are literally getting further and further away from a genuine representation 😆

I tend to claim Cadfael as a major influence, but really, this was the thing. ‘The Swords of Wayland’…

I'll take a weird gritty version all the time but I would also have accepted a muppets version but with Alan Rickmans sheriff as the only human!

Yes. The current attempts are all mud, swords, and bad lighting. Gritty, male gaze Robin Hood. Robin of Sherwood was female gaze Robin Hood.

Kinda already happened! Ritchie wanted to do six Arthur films but the first one was a flop. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Ar...

Do a Lancelot film of him screwing his way through half of France before fleeing to Britain lest an the angry husbands get their hands on him

Did you catch that Pathé was trying to set up a Three Musketeers Cinematic Universe a few years back

This gave me a nice fifteen second walk of wanting to make a Marion Zimmer Bradley source material joke then remember that oh ribht she’s BAD bad and then being sad about it.

Changing the title less than a month before release, am I understanding this correctly? Seems not great even aside from the specific change being made (which I agree is also bad)

No this is smart. It’s like how in April they made it clear that The Odyssey is a Master & Commander prequel

They want to ride the coattails of that Robin Hood movie that just came out that nobody saw

The weirdest thing about Ridley Scott's Robin Hood is that it appeared to be attempting some sort of bizarre neoliberal reframing of "steal from the rich to give to the poor" as "the peasants are suffering because the Barons pay too much tax to the King."

what the public truly demands is a visionary new spin on the story of Tarzan
